Anyway, I'm glad to see them busting into Gen 4. Hopefully, using Venusaur's base quadruped stance, I could get a D-Arts Torterra

A D-Arts Torterra would be awesome!

Had my first Tamashii product break while packing everything up to take home over break.

One of Venusaur's vine whips twisted clean off of the ball joint.

I had only just started to pull it out (and knew that this was apparently an issue and thought I was pulling it out properly having had no problems before) and all of a sudden I'm holding it. I knew something was off when I didn't feel the pop of the ball joint.

I've got no idea how to fix this or pull the damn ball out of the deep socket. Will probably save it until I get home in a few days anyways... But man, this sucks.

That suuuucks.

So I finally got Venusaur's vine whip glued and that's sitting out to dry.

Unfortunately I suffered my second ever break today.

I was posing Beelzebumon when rearranging shelves and wanted to pop off his back pipes to put in the holstered gun... forgetting that only the bottom ones do. Sheared off a top one. The stem pulled out some so I was able to glue it back on and it was secure enough for me to try turning it and make sure it didn't glue the ball in place. Even pushed in the ball all the way and it was fine.

Then I bumped it because I was too impatient to let it fully dry and it came off... >.< Now the stem is in fully and even harder to glue to and now it's sitting at home drying. Likely gonna lose all movement though.

Not being a bright one today.

Wow, the other one just broke off too. And that was just from turning it and totally seemed fine the other day.

So that's two pieces I have to try and glue into place in a decent position... since the other one didn't hold the first time.

Definitely gonna say these ball joints are too damn tight on him.

Sucks to hear about the bad luck coming from Venusaur...

Electric Turahk · 12-26-2013, 06:05 PM

Oh, Venusaur is fine. Because I don't even want to try putting the vine whips back in. :P Even though the one that did break is now repaired and staying together... without trying it out in him though.

It's both of the thick back wires on Beelzemon that have broken for me now.

Ah. I figured you were talking about Venusaur

From what I've heard, Beelzemon has been strewn with issues, but I never knew what since everyone always stayed so vague when it came to him...

Would anyone like to see D-Arts figures based on Valve video game franchises like Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, Portal and Half Life or they fit the S.H Figuarts line better?

Matrixbeast · 01-02-2014, 08:35 PM

I personally wouldn't. That's just me, though.

Instant money for Bandai, though. TF2 characters means same mold in 2 colors. Then they can print money with HAT ACCESSORY PACKS
2 hats for $50. I can guarantee people would still buy them
